Neighborhood Improvements Update:

Several projects are in progress to update our neighborhood pool complex. The association budgets a portion of dues every year to a reserve fund. This provides for capital replacement and long-term maintenance items such as pool resurfacing or roof replacement. The pool resurfacing and bathroom remodel plans have been extended many years beyond the projected update timelines. The pool restrooms are being completely renovated. The biggest project is the pool resurfacing, new pool deck, drainage improvements, and modernization of the baby pool. The new baby pool will feature a shade sail, ramp style entry, and replacing the turtle feature with a more interactive set of gentle water bubblers. South Woodland Hills Village Community Association is committed to keeping our neighborhood an attractive and enjoyable place to live!

Projects recently completed:

Community room nature themed mural
Pool security fencing repairs and new gates and locks
Exterior LED building lights to complement new park security lights added by Woodland Hills Trails Association
Southwoodlandhills.org website updates to a more modern, functional mobile friendly design
Woodland Grove entryway landscaping refresh with new landscape lighting, better visibility of greenbelt trail users, and more seasonal plantings

South Woodland Hills Community

Clean and Maintain the Drain Campaign

South Woodland Hills community association board is actively working to identify solutions to prevent future flooding. The goal of the ‘Clean and Maintain the Drain Campaign’ is to take action to help prevent potential flooding due to clogged and/or blocked drains. Keeping the street drains clean and clear allows storm water to drain quickly.

Please join SWH Board’s efforts by cleaning and maintaining South Woodland Hills drains to help prevent flooding:-

Keep your street free of pine needles, grass clippings and debris to prevent them from ending up in the street drains.
Keep street drains free and clear of debris to allow storm water to drain quickly, especially during heavy rains.
Call 311 (713-837-0311) to request drains on your street to be cleaned/flushed out.
Email Councilman Martin’s office (districte@houstontx.gov) to report if your street/home flooded and provide the 311 report number.
Remind lawn care companies/crews and neighbors not to blow grass clippings, pine needles, and debris into the street.

Adopt a drain to maintain on your street, to ensure quicker drainage during heavy rainstorms; see the Houston adopt a drain website: https://cohegis.houstontx.gov/cohgisweb/adopta/
